Alex Clare - Treading Water Lyrics

My heart just sank the moment I saw you,
You're the image of a girl that I used to know
Don't be alarmed, if it seems hard, for me to explain
But every detail of your face makes me recall her name
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water

Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again

Can you forgive the things I do that I can't amend?
Not the way I yearn for her
I hope you can't pretend
Girl you're a fire and you'll find
That I want to get burnt
No matter what you can teach me
I'm sure I'll never learn
Hmmm treading water, I keep
Treading water

Maybe its another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe it's another chance
I'm sure I fucked things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again

If my concentration
Seems spread too thin
And when you speak, my eyes glaze over
I'm sorry girl, it's not you, it's her

And your another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure I'll fuck things up in the same way
Maybe it's another chance-e-e-e

Maybe it's another chance
To mock myself again
Maybe your another chance
I'm sure i'll fuck things up in the way way
